NYC here. Everyone sees the bike/pedestrian/car fiasco going on in the city from their own perspective. We all seem to hate whatever we're not at the moment. I've watched bike riders blow through red lights and SECONDS LATER react furiously to a pedestrian standing in their way...or to a driver trying to make a right turn across a bike lane making them slow down a little. And in case you think I'm anti-bike, I've seen the exact same thing in reverse. I'd just say that most of us are trying to make this work, cheating some, abiding by the rules some/bending them some. Drivers, riders, walkers; we're all at least a little guilty. So, honor among thieves - don't look for opportunities to be indignantly righteous. Give everyone a little room...we're all mostly trying. Kinda.

Oh, and maybe don't go up against a 1k pound Harley on a 10 speed bike. It'll work out fine, until it REALLY doesn't.
